I have finished the sweater. It looks great. It only took 4.25 skeins of yarn, so I have almost 2 skeins leftover. I will post pictures as soon as I get them.
On to my next project. I'm going to start the wedding present. I have a feeling it's going to take some time. I will start it today. I'm hoping for the best.
Well it's sunday morning, and I just finished fixing breakfast. I have to get dinner on soon. Not sure what is going to happen today. God is Good, so I'm sure it will be good.

Happy Easter
Easter 2012, woke up at 6am. I really want to get back to church, but I'm having a hard time moving. I still have to go to the store, and I'll be cleaning house this afternoon.
I hope that everyone remembers the true meaning of today. Jesus rose from the grave, to give us hope for a future beyond our comprehension. Remember what Jesus did for all of us, He loves us even if we ignore Him. I LOVE HIM.
I have been working on my sweater, it's over half done, will probably finish this week. Will post a picture when it's complete.

Pictures and next project
Ok I have pictures of 2 outfit I have made. They belong to a sister and brother. I made the sister dress almost 2 years ago, and she still fits in it. When I made it,it was a long dress, now it's a short dress. I so enjoy making these things, but I really enjoy seeing them being used. Here are the pictures.
Maddie loves her new baby brother. Hope that bonds continues.
I have started and restarted my next project, only to find out I was using the wrong size crochet cotton. I made a trip to Michael's to get the right size. The cotton is the size of sewing thread. I had to make another trip to Michael's to get a magnifying glass so I can see the stitches. Now that I have everything it's time to get started.

Monday
Well it's the monday after supper bowl. I took the day off, cause I haven't had a day to just do nothing in quite a while. I have to go back to the store today today to pick up something things I forgot yesterday. I'm also going to get my nails done today, and pick up some yarn.
I have the new baby boy outfit almost done and ran out of yarn. I also have another baby boy outfit to make and a wedding gift to make. I have decided to make doilies with their initial, and table runner with their name. I need to get started on this. The wedding is May 17th.
I have been working on my sweater this week since I need yarn for the baby outfit. I have approximately 8 inches completed. When I finish this skein I will have to buy more yarn.
My baby girl called last night and said she was coming over. She stayed all night. Not sure what is going on with her, but mommy's gut feeling is that something is going on. She won't say anything though. Will have to wait it out.

Last day of January 2012
Well this is the last day of January 2012. I have been crocheting as much as I can. I have finished off one skein of yarn on my sweater. I have been working on a baby outfit for the Dr I work for. I have to get some yarn to finish it. I also have another baby outfit to make for another Dr in our office. He is expecting his 4th child.
We recieved an invitation to a wedding for our Pastors son. We won't be able to attend, but I want to make them something. I will probably make them a crochet picture. The wedding is in Ga on a thur. I cna't take time off work to go, plus right now we don't have the money for a trip.
I'm going to get off here. Get my shower and do some searching for a pattern.

Long Thursday
As soon as I got to work this question was posed, "what is your guess of baby sex and weight?" The Dr I work for became a grandpa again today. His son's baby was born at 7:14am. Mom was at the hospital 20 mins before the baby arrived. Well anyway, I guessed girl 8lbs 7oz, I have said this is a girl through most of the pregnancy. I was wrong, they had a big boy, 9lbs 12 oz. Now it's a sweater and pants, instead of a dress. Was going to start it tonight, but hubby wants to go to the store. Going to check my stash, and make sure I have enough yarn. Also the new baby has an older sister that is 19 months old. going to make her a princess crown.
For the next few days I will be getting the baby stuff done, and put my sweater to the side. Just about time to go to the store. Supper is over, my son made dinner and is cleaning up. The men in my life spoiled me sometimes.
Well off to the store.

sunday morning
Up early today. Devotion was Realize: 3 steps to sin. 1)Contemplation, 2) Rationalization,3) Consent. PS Sin always affects others---Ruth Bell Graham. Gen.3:1-19, and Gen.6:5.
The serpent will tempt you to contemplate doing something you know God said NOT to do. You must rationalize what you are doing, and give consent to do it. The serpent can not make you do anything you don't want to do. He can only make it looking pleasing. Remember sin always looks pleasing, but you have to look beyond to the consequences. The consequences of sin is death. God said when you are born again, you take on a new form, the old is washed away. You are turn away from your old life, stop the things you did, and strive to live like Jesus which was sinfree. Now I know we can not live totally sinfree, and God knows that. We are humans therefore sinful, however we can turn from things we know is sinful. We must remember others are watching us, we must live to show God's love. Just because we are christians and washed in the blood, does not mean we are free to do as we please. We are to bring other to God, not shun them, or make them question what is so different. We need to show the world why we are different, and why they want to be in our family.
I have made one new years resolution, and that is to fast and grow closer to God. I hope that through this people will see God's love through me.
Concerning my projects. I have the bottom complete for the bag, and I ripped out the sweater. Ready to start over on it. Not sure how much crocheting I will get accomplished today. I really need to clean house and take care of some things I have neglected recently. I hope that doesn't take all day, and I can get a little crocheting in.

Day 5
I've been working on the sweater for 5 days now. I have also started a bag. Have decided what to use the bag for. It will be multi colored. Originally started the bag to hold and carry my projects, most likely that's what I will use it for.
I took a couple pictures tonight showing my progress. It does not look like much, but as you know large projects take a little time to show much. I'm working on finishing the first skein, so I can figure out how much more yarn I need to buy.
On another subject. I returned home from work to find my truck is up and running. It has been broke down since august 13th. Have tore the engine apart 4 times, before everything was fixed. Still have some minor things to do, but it will now go up and down the road.
Well I'm going to do some crocheting.

The start of my sweater
I recieved 2 skeins of yarn for christmas. I've been trying to decide what to make. I decided today. I'm going to get more of the same color yarn. It just so happens Jo Anns has it on sale.
I have wanted an ankle length sweater coat since the 80's. One of my cousin's had one, and I was in love with it. I am crocheting myself one, creating the pattern as I go. To start with I made a single crochet chain of 162.
To learn this stitch go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY6Iy7gdVEM. This is easy to do, and no twisting the chain when you have a long chain. Happy Crocheting. I will update often on the progress of the sweater.
